My x,y data is in the following format. Basically I have separate lines, but all the x and y are in the same array.

When I try to plot the spline, the results do not make much sense:
cs = csapi(X,Y);
fnplt(cs);

Hi Pelajar,
The MATLAB csapi function is used to generate a spline from given x and y coordinates, and the resulting spline can be visualized in the attached graph.
According to the data provided by you, there are two y-values for each x-point. In this scenario, the function optimizes the curve by averaging the two y-values to plot the spline.
The black dots in the graph represent the average of the two y-values for each x-point.
For more information on MATLAB ‘csapi’ function, please follow the MATLAB documentation.
Hope it resolves your query.
